3. All Christians must be Teachers by Charitable Helps to one another.
But Teaching and Law-making are two things. To Teach another, is but to show him that same Scientifical Evidence of Truth, by which the Teacher knoweth it himself, that the Learner may know it as he doth. To say, You shall believe that is true which I say is true, and that this is the meaning of it, is not Teaching, but Law-giving; and to believe such an one, is not to learn or know; though some humane Belief of our Teachers is necessary to Learners.
